1. Cadet and Beginner Band have their first concert of the year NEXT THURSDAY, JANUARY 12 at 6:30 in the BPMS GYM. Cadet students need to wear jeans and their blue band shirts, and be in the band room ready to warm up at 6:00. We have spent a lot of time preparing music this year! Please note that band is a performance based class, so concert attendance is required; concerts also make up 40% of your student's grade.

2. Please mark your calendars also for Thursday, January 26 for the Beach Park Band Boosters Annual Spaghetti Dinner. This is a HUGE fundraising event, for parents and students alike. The event takes place from 5 - 8 PM, with all-you-can-eat spaghetti and salad, with drinks and desserts included. Our BPMS band students will be providing small group entertainment for the evening, with all 6th grade Cadet Band students performing between 5 and 6:00 PM. Tickets will go on sale for this event soon, and each band student will be given 5 tickets to sell, $9 in advance or $10 at the door. Students all have music that they need to be preparing, so please do not be afraid to ask to hear it!
